About JMG Ranch

Jeff Griffith started the JMG Ranch in 1994 with three horses: Ebony's Shadow, Music's Apache Kid and Dust In My Eyes. They moved to their current location in Travelers Rest, SC in 1996. Nestled in the foothills of SC, the ranch has blossomed into a full-fledged working horse ranch. Now over twenty horses of many breeds reside at the ranch, the predominant breeds being AQHA and APHA. Overcoming multiple challenges in their early history, the ranch has always raised its stock with one guiding rule: "Safety First."

The first event the JMG Ranch hosted was a youth group of 25 people from a local church. This spurred Jeff to reach out further into the community, and in the years since, thousands of children and adults have experienced the joy of horseback riding.

Our activities extend from group trail rides to regular lessons to Mountain Escape trips. The JMG Ranch continues to provide new adventures in camping, riding lessons, trail rides, and community events, while remaining true to the Faith that has always been its driving force. In addition to these, JMG Ranch has a separate branch that offers life lessons through drama, music and riding presentations for local churches across the country.

Come join us for an outstanding getaway. The mystery and beauty of God's mountain country will create a tranquil yet exhilarating journey.
